Made from equal parts butter and peanut butter, these shortbread wafers are ultra-crunchy and salty-sweet—perfect for sandwiching with whipped peanut butter creme. They’re best made with commercial peanut butter, which makes the dough and filling easy to handle.

Cooks' Note

I bring back this cookie's classic shape with a tool that sounds slightly scandalous: a bikini cutter, which you can easily buy online. Although this cutter is meant to make sassy swimsuit-shaped cookies, my friend and fellow pastry chef Gail Dosik noticed that their shape looks remarkably like a peanut, especially when gently stretched to widen the middle.
